GAME: MAKING BUBBLES

"Tily" learns the outdoor activities children like doing in the playground!

HOW TO MAKE “SOAP BUBBLES”
How to create floating, shimmering bubbles in the air!!!!

Things you’ll need:
Distilled water
Dish detergent
Glycerine
Large plastic bowl with cover
Length of wire

STEP 1
Fill a plastic bowl with distilled water. You can use tap water, but distilled water tends to make stronger, longer-lasting bubbles.

STEP 2
Add a cup dish-washing liquid and some glycerine to the water. Mix the ingredients gently but thoroughly; you want them blended, but you don’t want to create suds.

STEP 3
Cover the bowl until you’re ready to start blowing bubbles.

STEP 4
Twist a length of wire into a loop to make a bubble wand. You can also use cookie cutters or discarded plastic bubble wands from store-bought bubble bottles. The larger the loop, the bigger the bubbles will be, but larger bubbles have a harder time maintaining their integrity.

STEP 5
Open the lid and dip your wand in the mixture. Raise it to your lips and blow. Bubbles should come floating out.

1. What do you think about Creativity?

Teachers in Europe believe that creativity is fundamentally important at school and that ICT can help enhance it.
The European Commission believe creativity is a fundamental competence to be developed at school. Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are considered very important among teachers: computers, educational software, videos, online collaborative tools, virtual learning environments, interactive whiteboards, and free online material and courses.

Oh, yes, of course. Culture and technology meet to enhance understanding of the past. Interest in Europe’s industrial heritage is increasing.

Multimedia elements can incorporate the real world bringing the games closer to the experiences of real life - particularly important in non-formal education E-games can also bring people into closer social interaction – though not necessarily face-to-face.

Teacher Exchange 2 - Calcotada in VALLS, Tarragona

A very special gastronomic festival is the CALCOTADA in VALLS, Tarragona, at the end of the winter.
Up to 30.000 visitors come to watch this festival and eat CALCOTS every year.


The Austrian Teachers were invited on Sunday to take part in this event, thank you Francesca and Carme!

What are calcots?


Calcots are very early onions, which are grilled on open fire.



The outside is burnt, you take it away and dip it into a delicious sauce called romesco.
The women here are preparing the sauce.



They are traditionally served on a hot roof tile.




Then you lift them and lower them into your mouth, a messy thing!

To be able to eat a lot, you are drinking wine from a special jar.


The winner of 2010 eating competition ate 3,5 kg, which is around 300 pieces of onions...
